Green Zone
What's really sad is I can't help but feel that the filmmakers think they've probably delivered some sort ambiguous, introspective accusation against what happened in Iraq. It's not.

Our Family Wedding
Except for Mencia, who should never be allowed near a camera again, "Our Family Wedding" isn't particularly awful, but that's about the best that can be said about it.

Remember Me
Whether you're into the idea of watching the romance between two troubled young people blossom or not, there are enough layers to the drama in "Remember Me" that makes it hard to immediately discount or dismiss it as frivolous teen girl fare.

She's Out of My League vs. Our Family Wedding
"She's Out of My League" has a lot of spirit and heart, and it's actually quite sweet at times. It only fails to really deliver because it tries to shoehorn too many ideas into one movie and not all of them work. It's clearly the lesser of two evils though, because "Our Family Wedding" is just misguided and embarrassing for all those involved and could have easily been a segment in the atrocious "Valentines' Day."

Alice in Wonderland
While the script for "Alice in Wonderland" has some issues, it's a great looking film that's worth checking out for both adults and kids.

Alice in Wonderland
As far as Disney adaptations go, "Alice in Wonderland" pales in comparison to something like the "Narnia" movies, which always kept at least one foot in reality and remained aware that people who enjoy high fantasy like Carroll's classic work are more than happy to experience the insanity, but don't necessarily want to be driven insane themselves.

Alice in Wonderland
But none of this excellent work really goes anywhere. Or rather it goes somewhere we've all been before. There's a lot of panache involved in getting there, but it can't hide the fact that this "Wonderland" is sadly ordinary.

Brooklyn's Finest
Antoine Fuqua is clearly a filmmaker at the top of his game, and because of that, "Brooklyn's Finest" is a far stronger movie than "Training Day" and possibly even more effective than "The Departed" because it sets up its gritty realism early on and successfully maintains that to the very end.

Cop Out
It is what it is, a fun, stupid comedy that works far better than it should. There probably is no real explaining why. It's funny, and that's all that matters.

The Crazies
Ogden Marsh is your typical sleepy little farming community. Corn, threshers, baseball diamonds and rabid hunters. A group of brainwashed citizens randomly massacring the townsfolk. You know, typical.
